Weather is cold and frosty, in fact the frost has not lifted all day - so much for global warming - at least it will kill some of the bugs which have been thriving over previous mild winters. Was going to start sowing the broad beans in the greenhouse but compost was frozen so have moved some inside for use as soon as it has thawed. The varieties I had chsoen were the reliable ‘Aquadulce’ and the decorative ‘Crimson-flowered’. This I grew last year with amazing results, not only were the flowers very attractive but the crop was huge and on plants which were sturdy and did not need staking.  Must also sow the onion seeds as soon as possible, these will need some heat to get them going. Have chosen Ailsa Craig and Bedfordshire Champion this year.
